miu5hi, i have just done an upgrade of my packages, one of which was firefox, then i realized firefox was set as the default program to open .jpg and .png files. what could have caused this?   This type of thing happens often after each update of packages.09:20
miu5I must clarify though that opening .jpg's and .png's from the Desktop opens with the picture viewer i had already set.  It seems to only affect it when opening the pictures *within* Dolphin File Manager09:22
tomreynmiu5: when you right-click on a .jpg or .png file in dolphin, can you set (maybe in properties), the application used to open these files?10:01
miu5tomreyn, yes and i do but when the next apt-get update comes, depending on what is updated. the mime-type defaults keep changing different apps.  and i dont know what to look at to fix this issue.  The only thing i can tell you is a few months ago i changed my home permissions to 700 dirs & 600 files.10:08
tomreynthat's quite restrictive, though i don't assuem this would cause it, if it's just in your home10:08
tomreyni wouldn't know how to prevent the default mime-type handlers from changing.10:08

pikhHello! I have installed xubuntu 18.04 on Samsung XE500C13 Chromebook while fully de-installing Google Chrome. I managed to fix sound drivers, but I can not make touchpad work. The laptop recognises mouse and it works normally. I want to make touchpad work though. Does anyone know how to fix it?22:27
